Impacts of the agricultural transformation of the Canadian Prairies on grassland arthropods Open
The prairie grasslands have been transformed to become the primary source of agricultural production in Canada. Soon after its establishment, the Biological Survey of Canada recognised the urgent need to document the arthropods of the prai…
Biocontrol insect impacts population growth of its target plant species but not an incidentally used nontarget Open
Understanding the impact of herbivory on plant populations is a fundamental goal of ecology. Damage to individual plants can be visually striking and affect the fates of individuals, but these impacts do not necessarily translate into popu…
Cohort effects and proximal versus distal metrics for lifetime reproductive success in Richardson’s ground squirrels Open
Lifetime reproductive success (LRS) in the form of number of descendants is a commonly used measure of individual fitness, but the life stage at which descendants are counted varies among studies. Conceptual and logistical trade-offs exist…
